We have simply moved hosts to be in line with boost, and are intergrating some of their software to bring out members a better classifieds, and HELP members sell their parts by opening their adverts up to a wider audience.

The fact is that boost and hardtuned (stats wise) have always been alot bigger than the rest of the australian car forums .

By working together (from a technology perspective) it is the way forward if we are to compete with the big boys (ie. gumtree/ebay/carsales etc.)

none of the menu setups are working properly yet, and i will be churning them in the next couple of days.

we have ported all hardtuned classifieds this new classifieds setup and will be working hard at building it so that it works better than any classifieds we have had before.

I will be keeping the beloved parts forum though.

Moving forward i believe this is the best option, we are not looking for input or feedback at this time.

new features include :

A wider audience:

your adverts will be available to well over 1 million buyers nationally per month

Loz can you create an option so NS members can choose to block anything they don't want to see? You've created a Facebook 'like', the option to follow threads, etc why not give us some true options and let US choose what we do and don't want to see?

You "tried to improve" the classifieds last time and it ended in everyone wanting it back to how it used to be. Now you've gone and "tried to improve" the classifieds again and it's just as bad, if not worse. I know I for one am not pleased with the new layout.

Spotman go to boostcruising.com you can be disappointed from there also.

I'm still stuck on the first page still, there's 5 comodores, a supercharged vn and what appears to look like a god damn 202 red motor...... Do I dare click on the pic and confirm this is real life

Oh yay. We have to go through 40 pages of commodore parts to find somthing we need that is most likely stolen or busted.

I'm the same, i built my 180 ground up from the old forum style for sale section. I loved it, was quick and easy. I think most older members would prefer the forum style. Maybe if we all just used the normal forum style classifieds that Loz has left, as long as we are all in the know and use it.

This is retarded, you can actually buy from NS and get things posted and be fairly confident they'll turn up, it's not the same on boost, heaps of scammers and time wasters. It's going to be all about the swaps for fishtanks and vl bonnets.

Since the part forum has been back i've sold 10+ things from the forum, when there was the eBay style listings I sold nothing over 2 months from here. (same items)

The parts forum actually works, comes down to the old saying: if it isnt broken don't fix it
